Something from Lamley blog,

"I know I open myself up to criticism here, because I am quick to defend many of the Malaysian sellers on eBay, citing that they found the models in street markets and sold them to make extra money. "

Full article below, is lengthy ... rclxub.gif

What  a way to divert attention from the ACTUAL problem. Its nothing to do with Supers. Its something to do with 1 person buying up every car that people wants, then reselling them for 2-3.5 times the price. When Mattel starts to sell all real world cars packed with a Mattel original in 2 pack form at RM16 a pack then you will know. They will move more than 50% off the pegs and the scalpers will have no room to show their wares and a lot of money being held up in stocks. Thats the only way to curb scalping. I don't mind having originals either. But not having a chance at any real world cars is really killing the hobby.

So u are left with going other brands. Latest Maisto Ferrari 1:64 is really good. Just the price is more than double the basic range. But u can do wheel swaps yourselves because its screw bottom and not riveted.

Or Mattel keep release boxes into the market, until the shelf flooded with all the cars. Then will see how strong the scalpers can hold brows.gif

Back to basic, it is a matter of demand and supply problem.

Cheers.
